Description Myself as Terra Branford from Final Fantasy VI. Photo taken by Ollie [Orobouros.net] at T-Mode 2007. I feel that this costume is probably one of my most inspired creations, and I am still incredibly relieved that all of the clashing ideas in my head somehow coelesced into a coherent design! I based this largely off of the CG renderings from the PSX version of the game, as well as rarer Amano illustrations. I even went so far as to incorporate elements from various fanarts that I enjoyed! This was a very fun, if stressful and time-consuming, project, and I'm still nowhere near finished. DDX Maybe one day I'll get back to working on poor Terra! The entire costume [including the custom-dyed wig and armor] was constructed by me.

Please no critiques/criticism. I'd like to keep this gallery happy! :3

Is it handmade?

Well, it's a dress with a bustier built into it, and it was somewhat patterned by myself. I based it off of a basic strapless dress pattern. If you're talking about the costume, yes, the entire thing is handmade. XD Thanks for your interest!

Things like this tell me, if they don't fuckin redo FF6 3D for all the new kids..they could make FF6 a feature length movie and it would STILL be the best final fantasy.

Game-wise, I tend to prefer IX [I know, I'm an oddball] but I agree that VI would be quite epic as a movie. Thanks for your comment! <3

Hahah, I've been meaning to get back to AX for years, but the locations have scared me off a bit. The instant it goes back to Anaheim, I'll be there! I had such a blast in 2006. XDD

And thanks! <3

I personally havnt been to AX yet... but I do hit up Sakura-Con and Fanime every year.... you should come down to Fanime, its at a great location, and a lot of wonderful people show up there.

cupcake-rufflebutt In reply to DarkainMX [2008-08-02 22:14:54 +0000 UTC]

I actually had wanted to hit up Fanime last year, but things happened that prevented me from going, and I ended up actually going down to A-Kon in Texas instead. I'll definitely keep it in mind this year, though cons are going to be harder for me to get to now that I've started teaching. ^__^

I saw this and I knew immediately from the thumb what it was, the costume is just so well done. The fabric and decoration on the bodice is just stunning but just one of a host of a details that make this amazing.

Wow. I've wondered how the outfits could be so intricate and yet somehow function in battle. I guess that is where some of the fantasy comes in. This is simply amazing though.

You replied! Well that just made me have to look through your gallery. I realize now that you are relatively new to dA and that is why you are not getting swarmed with screaming fans yet. I wonder how you will handle that! I hope well because you are really nice.

Of course I replied! ^__^ Yeah, I'm still pretty new to DA, though I've been a lurker for quite a while. I don't expect to be swarmed with screaming fans, LOL, but I did want a place to put up some of the beautiful photography work that friends have done for my costumes. Glad to see things are being so well-received!

cupcake-rufflebutt In reply to Liquidfire3 [2008-07-31 06:05:25 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! <33 I definitely went into the project with a deeper colour palette in mind. Her outfit is so lush and rich looking in the PSX version, and so many cosplayers choose to go with bright reds and pastels for their Amano renditions. Just wanted to try something a little different, but it worked out well!

Liquidfire3 In reply to cupcake-rufflebutt [2008-07-31 07:20:03 +0000 UTC]

Yes, that always seems to be the best ideas, because then the colors really explode on camera. Sometimes they get really washed out, and that never really looks good. I did a search on her after seeing yours, and wow she has alot of outfits! But I think you picked the best one and nailed it perfectly.
